text into an input field

Applicability

Description

This document describes a failure that occurs when a new window is created in
response to a user filling in a text field for other than error reporting.

Examples

Failure Example 1:

This is a deprecated example showing a failure: A user is filling in
his mailing address. When he fills in his postal code, a new window
opens containing advertisements for services available in his city.

Example 2:

This example is acceptable: A user is filling in his mailing address
in a form. When he fills in the postal code field, a script runs to
validate that it is a valid postal code. If the value is not valid,
a window opens with instructions on how to fill in the field.
